As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

The problem with Sutter is the Administration. There is almost no organization. That is what happens when the District somehow makes a teacher that had No control in her class a Principal. She is as clueless of a Principal as she was a teacher. The teachers on campus are hit or miss. Principal does not hire quality teachers and assistant principals. She hires staff that she thinks that she can control. The students are the ones that are losing out. Nobody is safe on this campus. Find another school for your kids. The Principal has been there for quite a long time. Sutter will not improve until the district makes a change. Close Quote

The principal is probably the worst thing about the school. Jelly Welsh does nothing to reprimand the bullying she does nothing to communicate with the parents and she lets her teachers belittle the students as a matter of fact bullying is all over the school the fights are just dangerous to the point where they’re showing all over the news and the school does nothing to rectify the problem. Every year the school just goes downhill more and more. Close Quote

I have issues with the fact that a child can be attending Sutter Middle School for 6 weeks and apparently not be turning in class or homework and ends up failing 5 of 6 classes on the progress report and not one single call or note is sent home from the 2 teachers who have those classes to the parent to notify that there is an issue. Even when the parent has asked questions in the student's agenda book to notify if there are any issues or problems with said child. That makes me believe they don't have any concern with helping to assure that kids get a good education. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
